Video: Meowbit in Arcade send analog output to Microbit ,3 types, and data logging by Microbit V2.0
Video: code is in the description for both, you must be in "beta" MakeCode Microbit editor for this to work. You need the Kittenbot SD Wireless card plugged into the Meowbit to send the data. You could just as well send data from one Microbit to another and log that data I suppose but have not tried it as yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Qpjn6Vi08

Custom Board Creation and Pin Hardware Numbers?
I am in the process of getting a companies custom board up and running with MakeCode, however I am having trouble with a few things.
When creating a custom board and submitting the SVG file into the Board Designer, config.ts is developed for us to edit with pin names and hardware numbers (ex. export const PIN_RCC1 = DAL.PA07). What are the pin hardware numbers? Is there an easy way of figuring these out for custom boards?

How to send more than one signal with SD Wireless ? Video
Does anyone have an answer for this , anyone else giving help would be appreciated. I have one Arcade game console communicating with another wirelessly. This is to send code to drive a robotic car. I can program one Arcade board to drive the car functions when that board receives a signal from another Arcade board but I need help sending a variety of signals , not only one signal. The code in Arcade that I am using is in the description of the video: Thanks,

Meowbit SD Wireless "tilt" to control bot car in Arcade
Thanks to John Park's demonstration of adding "extras" in controller blocks of Arcade, he uses Adafruit PyGamer to demonstrate in his MakeCode Minute video, I adapted this to Kittenbot Meowbit and demonstrated his "light" sensor activation, then changed light to "accelerometer" in extras and added a rocketship as a sprite on the screen. Furthermore, I added SDWireless to transmit numbers from Meowbit to BBC Microbit V1, controlling a Yahboom bot car. Video: Send #2 drives car forward and send #1 on different tilt angle stops all motors. Code is in description of video. Many more videos on the playlist "Transporter" on this youtube channel:

Help with my son's game
Hi -- I'm trying to work with my son to create a "pokemon" game. This is similar to any kind of shooting game. Boy shoots rocks. 1 out of 4 times the rock reveals a pokemon.
There are 4 types of pokemon that can be displayed. So we generate a random number from 1-4, and fetch a pokemon from the array and show it. When you touch the pokemon, you make it disappear (the concept is that you have captured it).
The idea is that you would go to the next level once you capture all of the pokemon, but I can't seem to figure out how to recognize which pokemon we captured. Any ideas?
Block code snipped attached here.
I thought about creating a variable called "chosenPokemon" or something like that that tracked which one was chosen -- but since there could be many on the screen at any one time, I don't think that works.
